This invention has relation to improvements in puttying-machines; andthe object of my invention is to insert or apply putty, white lead, andalso hot pitch in the seams of woodwork or metal; and it consistsin theconstruction and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafterdescribed,and pointed out in the claim. I attain these objects by themechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 isa perspective view of my improved machine. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectionthereof.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 represents a cylinder forholding the putty and the like. To the operating end of the tube Iprovide a screw-cap 5, having on its outer face portion a nut 7, throughwhich passes a screw/threaded plunger-rod 2. To

the upper end of the plunger-rod 2 I provide a plunger 4, made of anysuitable material and having on opposite side faces nuts 16 and 17,whereby to hold the plunger in proper position on the upper end of theplunger-rod 2. To the upper end of the cylinder I attach in any suitablemanner a plug 8, having open' ings therein for the securing of tubes 3,held together at their terminal ends by means of a screw-bolt 10. Onopposite outer sides of these tubes 3 I provide openings 9, throughwhich the puttyis allowed to flow, and below one of these openings 9 isa projection 11 or what may be termed a seam-gage. To the outer end ofthe screw-threaded plunger-rod 2 I secure an operating-handle 13, bymeans of which the putty contained in the cylinder is forced through theopenings 9 of the tubes 3.

Having described my invention, What I claim is In a machine of thecharacter described, the combination with the cylinder having ascrew-cap on one end, and a nut connected thereWith,a screw-threadedplunger-rod passing through the cap and nut, a plunger on the upperportion of said rod, of a plug secured to the upper end of the cylinderand having tubes with side openings connected thereto, and a gage belowone of said open ings, substantially as specified.
